Job description

Ensures Future Choice communications and workflows align with P&P standards, are operationally viable, and are fully vetted before implementation. Acts as the bridge between Business/Product design and P&P execution, preventing rework, reducing complexity, and enabling scalable, future-ready outputs.

Position Responsibilities:

• Review and validate Future Choice communication designs and workflows against P&P standards.
• Assess operational feasibility before implementation; identify production, vendor, timing, and volume constraints.
• Promote standard templates, reuse, and reduced variation.
• Advocate for digital-first design where feasible; communicate internal system constraints.
• Prevent downstream rework, bottlenecks, and fragmentation.

Required Qualifications:

• Deep experience in print/mail production, communications, or document workflows.
• Strong understanding of the end-to-end communication lifecycle (design > production > delivery).

• P&P production and vendor systems (as applicable)

P&P INDUSTRY PREREQUISITES & OPERATING PRINCIPLES

• Industry Knowledge: Print/Post foundations, finance & job-costing, materials & inventory, data/billing/reconciliation, compliance & data privacy, digital adoption, continuity & backup, and SLA & delivery performance— calibrated to the role’s domain.
• No Touch Workflow — a bias toward automation; minimize manual handling, assembly, and rework.
• Digital First, not Digital Only — we print what is Required and Requested — challenge unnecessary print while respecting customer, business, and regulatory needs.
• Assertive & Proactive — anticipate risk, prepare for peak and exception scenarios, and drive issues to resolution rather than waiting for escalation.
• Sound Judgment & Disciplined Escalation — raise issues and ideas early with full justification and a thought-through recommendation; align through the appropriate decision forum before action.

The role being advertised is an existing vacancy.
